BOMBSHELL: Prison Fraudster Says Walz KNEW About $250 Million Welfare Scam - FBI Following Money Trail

The woman behind Minnesota's quarter-billion-dollar welfare fraud just delivered a devastating blow to Tim Walz from behind bars – and what she's revealing could destroy what's left of his political career.

Amy Bach, the convicted mastermind facing decades in federal prison, told Fox News she believes Governor Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison "were aware of this massive theft and did nothing to stop it." This bombshell admission comes as House Republicans prepare subpoenas and the FBI follows money trails leading straight to Walz's inner circle.

The numbers are absolutely staggering, Patriots. A quarter billion dollars in welfare funds meant to feed hungry American children got funneled through fake daycare facilities and sham restaurants. These criminal networks set up fraudulent operations, pretended to make meals, got paid by the state, then pocketed the cash. One smuggler was caught at Minneapolis airport with $800,000 in a suitcase heading overseas – but how much more walked right through undetected?

House GOP Drops the Hammer

House GOP Chairwoman Lisa McClain didn't mince words during congressional testimony, declaring that "Democrats took money from your kids, the kids who need it most, dumped it into fraudulent facilities and turned the other way when abuse was reported." Even though Walz claims he won't run for governor again, McClain announced House Republicans will still hold him accountable. Subpoenas are coming, and there's nowhere to hide.

The systemic failure runs deep, folks. Walz's own appointee admitted under oath they don't have tools to hold agencies accountable for fraud – despite that being their statutory responsibility. When pressed on consequences for agencies that fail at internal controls, she said they provide "support." Not accountability. Not consequences. Just support for the people stealing from taxpayers.

The Keith Ellison Connection Gets Suspicious

Here's where it gets really interesting: Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison only sponsored two bills that passed Congress, and one was the Money Remittances Improvement Act that eased international transfers to Somalia. There's video of Ellison discussing "how we can keep money flowing to Somalia." That legislation looks extremely suspicious now that we know a quarter billion dollars got stolen and shipped overseas.

House Oversight Chairman James Comer revealed that brave whistleblowers – overwhelmingly Democrats – have come forward with documents proving fraud occurred and implicating both Walz and Ellison. As Comer noted, "this is happening in every state, but especially blue states because Democrats don't care about wasteful spending like Republicans do."

Vice President JD Vance went nuclear, calling Walz "a joke who enabled fraud and possibly participated in it." With Bach now talking and the FBI following the money trail, how long before this house of cards comes crashing down?

Finally the truth is coming out! I've been saying for months that something didn't add up with all these welfare programs in Minnesota. How does a quarter BILLION dollars just disappear without anyone noticing?

I work in state government and let me tell you, there's NO WAY something this big happens without leadership knowing. The paper trail alone would cross dozens of desks.

This is exactly why we need strict oversight of these programs. My hard-earned tax dollars being stolen while actual needy families can't get help.
